Question
Which of the following statements applies to matric potential?Group of answer choicesWater moves from more dilute to more concentrated solutions.Water moves from wetter to drier surfaces.Water flows down.Water flows as a result of pressure.
Solution
The statement that applies to matric potential is "Water moves from wetter to drier surfaces."
Matric potential refers to the potential energy of water in soil and is influenced by the surface tension and adhesion of water to soil particles. This means that water will move from areas of higher water content (wetter surfaces) to areas of lower water content (drier surfaces) in an attempt to reach equilibrium.
